I woke up in tears
I could stop the flowing
I knew it wasn't real
But I didn't want to see it
It's a horrible nightmare
I hope you never have it
Because who wouldn't wake up in tears
After waching the man of their dreams return up to heaven
And having to explain to their little boy
That daddy wasn't coming home
And you weren't okay
Watching the love he gave you just to make you stay,
Because he knew all you wanted was his daddy,
Shatters your heart when you hear the rest
A little baby girl is on her way
You're in the hospital now
Your bady boy beside you
Holding his little hand is the woman who raised you and all of your sisters
You've been so beat up, the doctor gives a grieving look
This last pounding will be the end of you
The doctor is asking where the children should go
You turn to your mother the one who raised you, who could you trust more than that beautiful woman
Please take them mother, and help them grow up,
Hand them to my sisters when you've had enough
Help them grow up the way you helped me
And one day when they're old enough
Please let them know
Why mommy had to go
You push through the pain
You feel yourself slipping
They hand you the child
And help you through the weakness
You smile down at her little face
You look up to your mom again and say
Please take them mother, and help them grow up,
Hand them to my sisters when you've had enough
Help them grow up the way you helped me
And one day when they're old enough
Please let them know
Why mommy had to go
Teach them that love is a beautiful thing
And it's better to have love and lost
Than to never love at all
Your son grabs your hand, saying mommy don't go
With everything in you you try to stay
Because how can you leave something so precious
When they need you most
But there was nothing you could do then
Tears streamed from your eyes as you said goodbye
One of your sisters picks up the boy,
Your mother is holding your daughter with care
Tears streaming down their faces you say again
This time with your eyes
Please take them mother, and help them grow up,
Hand them to my sisters when you've had enough
Help them grow up the way you helped me
And one day when they're old enough
Please let them know
Why mommy had to go
Your heart stops beating
And there's no coming back
You finally wake up and say to yourself
Please take them mother, and help them grow up,
Hand them to my sisters when you've had enough
Help them grow up the way you helped me
And one day when they're old enough
Please let them know
Why mommy had to go
The tears keep coming and all you can think
Is please don't let this happen
This horrible nightmare
I don't want to see so many broken hearts
I don't want to have to fall apart that way
I don't want to leave my future children
When they don't know the world yet.
